My Grandparents Ran The Post Office

My grandparents, William and Rose Broadway ran the Post Office stores in the late 60's and 70's. I can vividly remember jars of sweets, Grandad boiling his own ham, getting up at 5am to give papers to the paperboy Stephen. I remember Milly and then Jean who worked there too and a customer called Doris. When the shop was closed on a Sunday afternoon I would play shops in the real shop! I think I played with a girl (Valerie) who lived in a cottage by the church. Wonderful memories. Julie Thomson
